...I am young but you are younger
so you speak more words then mumble.
You have to lend an ear to everything i say.
So be kind and love your mother and your father,
though sometimes they seem to bother
come my age and you'll know
There the ones who'll always love you and support you,
they prayed for you before you stepped foot into this world.
That's one thing that I've learned.
I remember you were walking, in a month I'll hear you talking.
There's a million things I'd love to say to you.
Though your parents, they are wiser and will be better advisers,
maybe hearing these things twice will get them through.
Go and find a girl for whom your love is selfless,
someone who makes you helpless, to change the way you feel.
But stay away from girls who always look so pretty,
who's hearts just aren't fitting for the man in you I see.
Would you remember that for me? ...

A good reminder to be praying for that little boy who will someday sweep her off her feet and carry her away to new adventures. - k

We have been loving that song for a couple of years now!! Ben Rector tours all the time we should all go see him.
Sweet! I need to go and listen to this song. Okay, I'm trying the tomato salsa with Roma tomatoes today. I'm going to use 6, cut them in half and roast them. The quest for perfect salsa continues.
